Cub Scout Pack 28
Cub Scouts: kindergarten-age boys and girls through 5th grade.
Cub Scouts camp with families at least twice during the school year. They build Pinewood Derby cars out of blocks of wood, and construct and launch rockets.
Cub Scouts progress toward a badge of rank based on their grade. Each rank has its own requirements that are age appropriate. As a Cub Scout grows, requirements become more challenging to match the new skills and abilities they have learned.

Troop 28 Boys
This is the original Troop at GSLC, Raleigh. Since 1987 it’s been available for boys age 12-18.
Troop 28 Scouts lead and serve. Scouts lead meetings and plan monthly outings. Some of the service projects we’ve completed benefited the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, the Mountain to Sea Trail around Falls Lake, the National Bone Marrow Registry, and others.

Troop 28 Girls
Troop 28 was one of the first to admit girls in 2019, the year the Boy Scouts of America opened its prestigious Scouting program to young women.
Troop 28 Girls has been active and growing steadily. Scouts completed a multi-day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail (the Triple Crown), went to summer camp at Bud Schiele (Rutherfordton, NC), camped at Medoc Mountain, canoed (with alligators) at Merchants Millpond, camped on the beach at Cape Lookout, pedaled bicycles on the Virginia Creeper Bicycling Trail, went Skiing in West Virginia, and rode rollercoasters at King’s Dominion.
Troop 28 – Girls meets on Monday evenings throughout the year.

Guiding Principles
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life.
Scout me in!
Scout Law
The Scout Law has 12 points. Each is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the Law every day. It is not always easy to do, but a Scout always tries.
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Motto & Slogan
Baden-Powell wrote that to Be Prepared means “you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty. More than a century later, preparedness is still a cornerstone of Scouting.
